The '''South American Football Confederation''' ('''CONMEBOL''') is the continental governing body of [[association football]] in South America and it is one of [[FIFA]]'s six continental confederations. The oldest continental confederation in the world, its headquarters are located in Luque, Paraguay. CONMEBOL is responsible for the organization and governance of South American football's major international tournaments. With 10 member football associations, it has the fewest members of all the confederations in FIFA.
  +
  +
CONMEBOL national teams have won nine [[FIFA World Cup]]s (Brazil five, Argentina and Uruguay two trophies each), and CONMEBOL clubs have won 22 [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cups]] and four [[FIFA Club World Cup]]s. Argentina and Uruguay have also won two [[Football at the Summer Olympics|Olympic]] gold medals each.
  +
It is considered one of the strongest confederations in the world.
  +
  +
The [[FIFA World Cup qualification|World Cup qualifiers]] of CONMEBOL have been described as the "toughest qualifiers in the world",<ref>[http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1395677&s=fut&type=column "La eliminatoria más difícil del mundo", ESPN] ''(in Spanish)''</ref><ref>[http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/columnist/vickery_tim/id/7096226/south-america-world-cup-qualifying-toughest-planet-tim-vickery-soccer "South American WCQ toughest in world", ESPN]</ref> for their simple round-robin system, entry of some of the top national teams in the world, leveling of the weaker national teams, climate conditions, geographic conditions, strong home stands and passionate supporters. Currently, the Confederation is planning to create the first women's qualification to the [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] to replace the [[Copa América Femenina]].
  +
  +
Juan Ángel Napout was the interim president of CONMEBOL until March, 2015 but then he was promoted to full-time president. Napout replaced the former president [[Eugenio Figueredo]] who resigned on August 8, 2014. The first and second vicepresidents are Luis Bedoya and Sergio Jadue.
  +
  +
==History==
  +
In 1916, the [[1916 South American Championship|first edition]] of the Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol, now known as the ''[[Copa América]]'', was contested in Argentina to commemorate the centenary of the Argentine Declaration of Independence. The four participating associations of that tournament gathered together in order to officially create a governing body to facilitate the organization of the tournament. Thus, CONMEBOL was founded on July 9, 1916, Argentine Independence Day, under the initiative of Uruguayan [[Héctor Rivadavia Gómez|Héctor Rivadavia]], but approved by the football associations of [[Argentine Football Association|Argentina]], [[Brazilian Football Confederation|Brazil]], [[Federación de Fútbol de Chile|Chile]], and [[Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol|Uruguay]]. The constitutional congress on December 15 of that same year ratified the decision.
  +
  +
Over the years, the other football associations in South America joined, with the last being [[Federación Venezolana de Fútbol|Venezuela]] in 1952. Guyana, Suriname, and the French overseas department of French Guiana, while geographically in South America, are not part of CONMEBOL. Consisting of a French territory, a former British territory, and a former Dutch territory, and located near the Caribbean Sea, they are part of the [[CONCACAF|Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF)]], mainly due to historical, cultural, and sporting reasons. With ten member nations, CONMEBOL is the smallest and the only fully continental land-based FIFA confederation (no insular countries or associates from different continents).
  +
  +
==Competitions==
  +
<!-- Commented out: [[File:Copa América2.jpg|thumb|right|The Copa América was the first national team tournament to be disputed.]] -->
  +
  +
===International===
  +
The main competition for men's national teams is the [[Copa América]], started in 1916. CONMEBOL also runs national competitions at [[South American Youth Football Championship|Under-20]], [[South American Under-17 Football Championship|Under-17]] and [[South American Under-15 Football Championship|Under-15]] levels. For women's national teams, CONMEBOL operates the [[Copa América Femenina]] for senior national sides, as well as [[South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship|Under-20]] and [[South American Under-17 Women's Football Championship|Under-17]] championships.
  +
  +
In [[futsal]] there is the [[Copa América – FIFA Futsal|Copa América de Futsal]] and [[South American Under-20 Futsal Championship|Campeonato Sudamericano de Futsal Sub-20]]. The [[South American Women's Futsal Championship|Campeonato Sudamericano Femenino de Futsal]] is the women's equivalent to the man's tournament.
  +
  +
===Club===
  +
CONMEBOL also runs the two main club competitions in South America: the [[Copa Libertadores]] was first held in 1960 and the [[Copa Sudamericana]] was launched by CONMEBOL in 2002 as an indirect successor to the [[Supercopa Libertadores]] (begun in 1988). A third competition, the [[Copa CONMEBOL]], started in 1992 and was abolished in 1999. In women's football CONMEBOL also conducts the [[Copa Libertadores Femenina]] for club teams. The competition was first held in 2009.
  +
  +
The [[Recopa Sudamericana]] pits the past year's winners of the Copa Libertadores against the winners of the Copa Sudamericana (previously the winners of the Supercopa Libertadores), and came into being in 1989.
  +
  +
The [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]] was jointly organized with [[UEFA]] between the Copa Libertadores and the [[UEFA Champions League]] winners.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) is the continental governing body of association football in South America and it is one of FIFA's six continental confederations. The oldest continental confederation in the world, its headquarters are located in Luque, Paraguay. CONMEBOL is responsible for the organization and governance of South American football's major international tournaments. With 10 member football associations, it has the fewest members of all the confederations in FIFA.

CONMEBOL national teams have won nine FIFA World Cups (Brazil five, Argentina and Uruguay two trophies each), and CONMEBOL clubs have won 22 Intercontinental Cups and four FIFA Club World Cups. Argentina and Uruguay have also won two Olympic gold medals each. It is considered one of the strongest confederations in the world.

The World Cup qualifiers of CONMEBOL have been described as the "toughest qualifiers in the world",[1][2] for their simple round-robin system, entry of some of the top national teams in the world, leveling of the weaker national teams, climate conditions, geographic conditions, strong home stands and passionate supporters. Currently, the Confederation is planning to create the first women's qualification to the FIFA Women's World Cup to replace the Copa América Femenina.

Juan Ángel Napout was the interim president of CONMEBOL until March, 2015 but then he was promoted to full-time president. Napout replaced the former president Eugenio Figueredo who resigned on August 8, 2014. The first and second vicepresidents are Luis Bedoya and Sergio Jadue.

History

In 1916, the first edition of the Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol, now known as the Copa América, was contested in Argentina to commemorate the centenary of the Argentine Declaration of Independence. The four participating associations of that tournament gathered together in order to officially create a governing body to facilitate the organization of the tournament. Thus, CONMEBOL was founded on July 9, 1916, Argentine Independence Day, under the initiative of Uruguayan Héctor Rivadavia, but approved by the football associations of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. The constitutional congress on December 15 of that same year ratified the decision.

Over the years, the other football associations in South America joined, with the last being Venezuela in 1952. Guyana, Suriname, and the French overseas department of French Guiana, while geographically in South America, are not part of CONMEBOL. Consisting of a French territory, a former British territory, and a former Dutch territory, and located near the Caribbean Sea, they are part of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), mainly due to historical, cultural, and sporting reasons. With ten member nations, CONMEBOL is the smallest and the only fully continental land-based FIFA confederation (no insular countries or associates from different continents).

Competitions

International

The main competition for men's national teams is the Copa América, started in 1916. CONMEBOL also runs national competitions at Under-20, Under-17 and Under-15 levels. For women's national teams, CONMEBOL operates the Copa América Femenina for senior national sides, as well as Under-20 and Under-17 championships.

In futsal there is the Copa América de Futsal and Campeonato Sudamericano de Futsal Sub-20. The Campeonato Sudamericano Femenino de Futsal is the women's equivalent to the man's tournament.

Club

CONMEBOL also runs the two main club competitions in South America: the Copa Libertadores was first held in 1960 and the Copa Sudamericana was launched by CONMEBOL in 2002 as an indirect successor to the Supercopa Libertadores (begun in 1988). A third competition, the Copa CONMEBOL, started in 1992 and was abolished in 1999. In women's football CONMEBOL also conducts the Copa Libertadores Femenina for club teams. The competition was first held in 2009.

The Recopa Sudamericana pits the past year's winners of the Copa Libertadores against the winners of the Copa Sudamericana (previously the winners of the Supercopa Libertadores), and came into being in 1989.

The Intercontinental Cup was jointly organized with UEFA between the Copa Libertadores and the UEFA Champions League winners.
